Description
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Name After the Norwegian polar scientist, explorer and statesman, Fridtjof Nansen.
Well type section UK well 211/24-1 (Conoco/Gulf/NCB) (Fig 1.17-18). 1.17) from 3112 m to 3159 m below KB.
Well reference section Norwegian well 33/12-2 (Mobil) (Fig 1.17-18).
Thickness 46 m in the type well and 19 m in the reference well.
Lithology In the type well the formation consists of medium- to coarse-grained, fairly well-sorted, homogeneous, white sandstones with a calcite-cement and a subordinate kaolinite matrix. Occasional horizons with granules or pebbles are present. Carbonaceous material and mica are rare but glauconite is quite common. Thin shale beds containing marine fossils are present, most commonly in its upper part.
At the top of the formation, from 3112 m to 3135 m in the type well is a more prominent calcareous horizon defined informally as the calcareous sandstone bed. This may grade locally into a sandy limestone, for example in the Brent Field.

Tops and cored lengths are the Directorate's, per wellbore and unit; the percentiles are computed from those tops and are depths along the wellbore, not true vertical depth.
